Has anyone got the full concerts of the above show's on tape or cd.The Paris 11th concert was my 60th time seeing New Order live,and Hooky dedicated LWTUA to me.

Didn't he dedicate it to someone called Alex?

No.After the song,Hooky stayed on stage and done a solo part of LWTUA,and said "that was for you Kirky".He tried to get me to the front but a couple of people wouldn't let me through.

I thought this LWTUA dedicate had something to do with the little abuse that happened a few songs earlier, between the band (Hooky and Barney) and some blokes in the crowd?

Nice one, I guess you're English then? Having seen them that many times.

You one of Stash's mates?!

Yes i am English.I wish they would go back to playing different sets each night,like they did in the 80's.Also i wish they had played "Love Vigilantes" like they did in Liverpool in july

To be honest, if Barney has to read entire sets through a monitor, perhaps he does think they're playing a different set every night? I've got mates like that - they've seen 'em half a dozen times this year, same set, but still seem genuinely enthused by each setlist cos they can't remember what comes next!

Where were you in Paris? There was loads of English over for those two. I was the big bonehead with the X of St George which said NEW ORDER on it. Hooky took it off me the first night, then didn't seem to know what to do with it, so took it back again!! Welcome to neworderonline!

I remember you.You held the flag up with me towards the end of the show.I was on Hooky's side of the stage,and one bloke in the crowd lost his glasses,and he gave me the biggest hug ever when i found them for him.Have you heard of any one-off dates before xmas?

23 Nov 2001, 04:11

The lad with the glasses posts here - calls himself Johnny Giles after the Leeds (hiss) player. There was a LOT of English to that side of that stage - maybe 30 of us? My camp, and the Manc lot.

Held the flag up a lot cos the Mrs was down the front trying to get piccies of it!

We all went to Stockholm again at the weekend. Cracking time. Smaller group though, just 11 of us.

Yeah, heard a rumour of just one one-off gig around Xmas but the venue seems just too bizarre (ie. small!) to be believed. Chances of getting a ticket seem thin, to say the least.

So you're the geezer who found me specs!!.

I owe you one Kirky.

Thought they were lost for good when I couldn't find them in the first 30 secs after they got knocked off my face. This is an occupation hazard of the bespectacled who like to mix it at the front. And trying to look for them without them...well - we need helpful types like you.

The gigs in gigs problem perhaps.

Only had them since July 'an all. Got 'em with a new pair of Shades for our jaunt to the States for the Area:One shows with Mr Jarvis.

60 gigs eh, impressive performance. We'll have to get something sorted for the next show - I owe you a lager.
